In the mood for "comfort food", we headed to Frontier Restaurant inAlbuquerque. http://www.frontierrestaurant.comThey've been around Albuquerque since 1971 and have been servingthe community and the University of New Mexico area ever since.Coming back from a day-trip, we had a taste for a steak but financesfor a sandwich, so driving down Central Avenue we were spying outlocations when all of a sudden, there we were. I had read about Frontierback in May on the blog, Dukecityfix http://www.dukecityfix.comThey gave it good reviews, and I have to agree with them. Their menuis huge, and it has a Dennys-esque feel to it, but much better foodand a much cooler feel.

Once you walk in the door, you realize how big the place is. It's gotabout 5 big dining areas, including one called the Duke Room that has a monstrous painting of John Wayne on one wall. The green chile was recently voted best in Albuquerque and we'll try that nexttime. What was most interesting was the diversity of the peopleeating there. Couples, families, old, young, students, etc. Nexttime on Central Avenue, give it a try.
